Exact scattering eigenstates, many-body bound states, and nonequilibrium current of an open quantum dot system

arXiv:0905.3443 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.146803

Abstract

We obtain an exact many-body scattering eigenstate in an open quantum dot system. The scattering state is not in the form of the Bethe eigenstate in the sense that the wave-number set of the incoming plane wave is not conserved during the scattering and many-body bound states appear. By using the scattering state, we study the average nonequilibrium current through the quantum dot under a finite bias voltage. The current-voltage characteristics that we obtained by taking the two-body bound state into account is qualitatively similar to several known results.
